Kelly Clarkson Sang Relatable Selena Gomez Song On ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’
Kelly opened up the song with the lyrics, “Baby, you’ve been so distant from me lately / And lately don’t even want to call you ‘baby.'” Selena previously revealed the deep meaning behind the song and how it relates to her personal love life. She said that the lyrics came from a “point of exhaustion” where the “relationship has run its course.”
Kelly just ended her marriage to Brandon Blackstock back in June so the lyrics definitely hit home. The lyrics to the chorus of the song are “Why don’t you recognize I’m so rare?” Selena who has openly struggled with self-confidence said that these words are very important. She is singing about knowing that she is not perfect but knowing that she is special. The end message of the song is that there is a person out there for everybody. Even if you walk away from a toxic relationship, there is someone out there that is right for you.
